A focus on caging radicals: a catch-and-release mechanism for BODIPY photocages

Jiarong Wu, Jake L. Greenfield

Focusing on the often-overlooked homolytic bond-cleavage mechanism of photocages, Poryvai et al. ( Chem. Sci. , 2026, https://doi.org/10.1039/D6SC01848C) exploit this pathway to demonstrate the on-demand catch-and-release of radical payloads and apply this platform to radical polymerisation reactions.
